Bloomfield Hills Foundation awarded a grant to the Way Art Studio last year that allowed us to provide take home art studios! This grant was used to help your child continue to create outside of school and help guide you when assisting with your child's creative process. Several art take-home studios with how-to videos are available by signing up through SignUpGenius.  

All new 5th graders are encouraged to attend a special orientation designed especially for them on August 23 from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM at Bloomfield Hills Middle School.  Meet your WEB Ambassadors, participate in some fun activities, tour BHMS and start new friendships!
